Sound - It is awesome. My home theater sounds like it is surrounded with speakers. The bass is powerful, and even at the default of 3 setting can be overwhelming at times. I don't know how it could be better. The rear speakers sound solid and can be charged via USBC cables or plugged in to the bar to charge. This offers great flexibility since you don't need to have an outlet near each one.
Connectivity - No issues whatsoever with the bluetooth connectivity. I love the way it powers on with the TV or streaming device, and can control the volume with any remote. All speakers, including the bass, connect via bluetooth. No need for wires.
JBL App - Very easy to use and helps make set up a breeze. You will be using this bar within minutes of installing. It also helps with any updates that are needed. You will probably have one when you first connect.
Remote Control - Kind of basic, but the truth is you don't really need it much. The App has a virtual remote as well.
Installation - Very easy and all of the brackets you need are included if you are mounting it. I had it attached to the wall within minutes. The JBL app makes the other parts of the installation a breeze.
Look - I think it looks great and makes for a clean and expensive look. No cloth covers over any of the speakers, which in my opinion look cheap and can get dirty or rip.
Overall - You will not be disappointed with this purchase. The JBL Bar 1300 or 9.1 are great as well. The downside on the 9.1 is no App connectivity. It is cheaper than this one, but you give up some of the better sound due the additional speakers. The 1300 is a bit of an upgrade to this one, but there is a cost for the upgrade.
Great sound bar for the price range Better than the others in this price range.
I have a 60” Sony OLED tv on a low profile stand rather than the wall. The sound bar fully assembled (with surround speakers attached) will not fit in the space on the stand between the tv legs. Without the surround speakers attached, it fits great with a little extra room. So if I want to attach the surround speakers for charging I have to raise the soundbar off the stand while they charge. Not a huge deal, but know this is a really long soundbar (the entire system is 7.1 channels of great sound) so check your measurements if this applies to your setup as well. The soundbar can be wall mounted as well if you have a mounted tv if you’re looking for a clean- no component look. We have a cable box/DVR that isn’t wireless so this is the best setup for us.
The subwoofer is massive compared to my previous entertainment system, and it can put out some seriously massive sound. Super high quality base though (I mean, it’s a JBL which is known for high quality audio). It’s great to listen to everything from tv to music, movies to games. Voices are clear even while powerful mids and lows are going off, and I don’t need to even come close to maxing out the volume. No audio distortion at higher volumes either. Just clear audio. Love it. I live in an urban flat in a four-story walk up and none of my neighbors have commented on it being too loud.
Switching between my tv and Bluetooth devices is super easy, as is adjusting the surround and subwoofer settings. All from the remote.
The design is great. It looks high quality and has the weight you’d expect from high quality audio components. It has controls on the soundbar and the remote, and it can be controlled for volume with most tv remotes.
I highly recommend this model. I think it’s worth the price to have high quality audio in your home.
This JBL Bar 1000 got great reviews from independent sources. It deserves great reviews. Sounds great and I like the fact that the rear speakers are totally wireless. No speaker wires and no AC plug, unless you want to keep them plugged in and charged, which I do. But if an AC outlet was not there, no problem at all. I listened to a lot of high end sound bars and decided on this one. The first movie we watched was "Top Gun - Maverick" (which we've seen twice) and it was amazing listening to those jets flying around us. A little expensive but worth it.

However, after being dazzled by some Atmos content I quickly realized this thing sounded awful for watching Youtube or any dialogue driven content. As in, it was tinny and the dialogue would get lost and sound muffled. I was ready to return it when I discovered you can disable "smart mode" by holding the mute button for three seconds then pressing the + sign on the remote. PROBLEM SOLVED! It sounds, so, SO much better now across the board (youtube, Netflix/Prime etc, Plex... even with Atmos content). Voices no longer got lost in the background, they were clear and deeper voices now had a satisfying touch of bass. Things that are all lost with stupid mode.
However, here's the absolutely idiotic thing about this soundbar... whenever it goes into standby mode or you turn it off... it turns smart mode back on which means EVERY SINGLE TIME you turn this on you have to manually disable smart mode. This has to be the stupidest decision of all time as it sounds worse than my previous $250 soundbar in most instances with smart mode on.
My solution to this has been to put my Firecube into standby mode instead of turning it off, which in turn puts my TV into standby mode and that prevents the soundbar from going into standby (it's connected over ARC). Problem solved... kinda. Except that now my TV is now always on or in standby and my soundbar is always on lol.
I still might return it just out of spite for JBL being such idiots.
